It was a 10 second car in Palmdale, so it got down decently. Eventually drag racing it in the street tire class at IDRC.
#Fast and furious 2 skyline movie
It is the "Streets closed pizza boy" car.Īfter the movie we added direct port nitrous, with the help of SoCal Speed Shop and NOS. So the one car, an R33 was loaned to the movie. Getting more cars to the US, in the short amount of time they wanted, was near impossible without flying them, and we were not going to foot that expense. Since Mike and Craig ran competing drag racing series, it was unlikely to get that car.

One other R33 that I could think of, was owned by Mike Ferrara. MotoRex was small, and we really didn't have many cars or customers. Now you have to understand this was a unknown quantity then. They liked the car, and they asked how many I could get. I let them know why the Nissan Skyline was such a significant car in Japan, the long history of the car in Japan, and how it was idolized, and perhaps put on a high pedestal here in the US. I went into my best salesmans pitch ever. When they came up to the R33, they asked what it was, and a little bit of why it was there, and how it compared to the Toyota Supra. If you ever heard of an R32 GT-R sideways around the clock tower, probably never happened.Ī group of producers, and assistants were going around checking out the cars. Borrowed a truck and trailer from Signal Auto, and set off with the R33 on a trailer, plus driving two R32 GT-R with Ken and James.Īt some point during the audition, I ended up giving Paul a ride around the Universal lot in an R32. It had run in the One Lap of America, and had hurt a turbo during the trip.

Why was it a minor character car? We had brought the R33 GT-R on a trailer. A lot of people ask, why the R33 had such a small role in the movie.
